Abstract: A personal care system (100) includes a personal care appliance (107) having a body (141), and at least one cavity (109). The body may be configured to receive a cleaning tool (111) at one end and may include at least one controller (122) which may be situated within the at least one cavity. The controller may be configured to: determine whether a personal care mode is activated; obtain sensor information from at least one tooth-based sensor (152) of a tooth portion (112), when it is determined that a personal care mode is activated; and transmit the sensor information to at least one of a remote server (102) and a base portion (132).

Abstract: A system for generating a view of a medical image comprises an input (1) for receiving information indicative of a suspected diagnosis of a patient. An input (2) for receiving a medical image of the patient. A mapper (3) for mapping the suspected diagnosis of the patient to a set of viewing parameters for viewing the medical image. A view generator (8) for providing a view of the medical image in accordance with the set of viewing parameters. A database (4) for mapping a suspected diagnosis into a set of generic viewing parameters. A transformer (5) for transforming the set of generic viewing parameters into a set of image-specific viewing parameters based on content of the medical image.

Abstract: A basic idea of the present invention is to selectively employ one of at least two different feature extraction processes when generating a biometric template of an individual. An individual offers a physiological property, such as a fingerprint, an iris, an ear, a face, etc., from which biometric data can be derived, to a sensor of an enrollment authority. In the following, the property to be discussed will be fingerprints, even though any suitable biometric property may be used. From the fingerprint, a positional reference point of the biometric data is derived. The derivation of the positional reference point may be accomplished using any appropriate method out of a number of known methods. Such a reference point could be the location of a core, a delta, a weighted average of minutiae coordinates, or alike. Typically, the reference point includes a core of a fingerprint expressed as a three-dimensional coordinate denoted by means of xr, yr, and angle ?r.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor system comprising a sensor array, the sensor array comprising a substrate layer and a plurality of individual first sensor elements for measuring a desired parameter, which first sensor elements are arranged on said substrate layer and define a sensor plane, wherein the sensor array further comprises one or more second sensor elements for measuring a further desired parameter, and wherein the sensor system is configured to process sensor data from the first sensor elements in dependency of sensor data from the one or more second sensor elements.

Abstract: The application describes a child monitoring system and method for detecting and discriminating between children and adults passing under a sensor that is independent of the position of the sensor in relation to the subject. The system determines a distance to a surface on which a person can stand, and calculates a reference distance from this distance and a desired threshold. When a person enters the sensor range, the distance to the top of the person's head is compared with the reference distance to determine whether the person is an adult or a child. An alert can be provided when a child is detected as opposed to an adult, and alerts can be suppressed if an adult is in the vicinity.

Abstract: When generating radiology reports, image findings and/or clinical information is automatically mapped to an appropriate standardized structured report template. The report template contains placeholders for information such as case-specific images and measureable values, and the placeholders are filled in by either the radiologist or by automatic procedures such as image processing algorithms, text extraction algorithms, or the like. In this manner, the radiologist is assisted in effectively generating a reader-independent high-quality diagnostic report.

Abstract: A plurality of stored digital images are searched. Images are retrieved in accordance with a search query (step 204). The retrieved images are clustered according to a predetermined characteristic of the content of the image (step208). The clusters are ranked on the basis of a predetermined criterion (step 210). Search results are returned according to the ranked clusters (step 212).
